  • TUNING: Dropped D, all strings down 1/2 step (Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
     
    Howdy folks, seems like there aren't enough Sponge tabs out there, so here
  • goes this one. A few things to note: for those of you who know what a time
    signature is, the one for this song is 3/4 or 6/8 or something like that as
    compared to the usual 4/4.
  •  
    Okay, the song starts out with this deep booming noise that I haven't figured
    out. My best guess is that it's a D power chord bent up and down twice while
  • the bass rumbles a low D. Such as:
     
    1/2 1/2
  • e:-----------------------|
    B:-----------------------|
    G:-----------------------|
  • D:-12---12---------------|
    A:-12---12---------------|
    D:-12---12---------------|
  •  
    In any case, over this comes these two notes. They're played in a different
    order each time.
  •  
    e:-----------------------|
    B:-15~-------------------|
  • G:-14~-------------------|
    D:-----------------------|
    A:-----------------------|
  • D:-----------------------|
     
    The verse riff is played with heavy distortion and palm muting. (Actually the
  • entire song is pretty damn distorted!)
     
    P.M.---------------------------------------|
  • e:-------------------------------------------|
    B:-------------------------------------------|
    G:-------------------------------------------|
  • D:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0----|
    A:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0----|
    D:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0----|
  •  
    After playing this the necessary amount of times, you play this while he
    goes,"To always be lost, never to find the way."
  •  
    e:------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
    B:------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
  • G:------------------------------------|-4--4--4--4--4--4--4/5--5--5--5--5-|
    D:-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-4--4--4--4--4--4--4/5--5--5--5--5-|
    A:-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2/3--3--3--3--3-|
  • D:-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-----------------------------------|
     
    Then you go back to the first verse riff:
  • e:-----------------------------------------|
    B:-----------------------------------------|
    G:-----------------------------------------|
  • D:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--|
    A:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--|
    D:-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--|
  •  
    The prechorus ("To hit the ground and know the sound....") goes something
    like this. (This is as near as I can get it.)
  • e:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    B:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    G:----------5-----------------5--------|---------5-----------------5--------|
  • D:-------5-----5-----------5-----5-----|------5-----5-----------5-----5-----|
    A:----5-----------5-----5-----------5--|---5-----------5-----5-----------5--|
    D:-5-----------------5-----------------|-5----------------5-----------------|
  •  
    And now for the chorus....("They will never....")
    e:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
  • B:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    G:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    D:-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|
  • A:-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|
    D:-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|
     
  • The first time through, play an open-stringed D power chord (000xxx) and then
    go back to the verse riff. The other times you go into this interlude:
    e:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
  • B:-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|
    G:-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|
    D:-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|

    B:-7-----7--7--7-----------|-7-----7--7--7-----------|
    G:-7-----7--7--7-----------|-7-----7--7--7-----------|

    Sometimes, the lead guitar plays this over the above riff.
    e:----|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
  • B:----|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
    G:-5/-|-14~--------------12~-------------|-14~--------------12~-------------|
    D:----|-15~--------------14~-------------|-15~--------------14~-------------|
  • A:----|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
    D:----|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
     
  • e:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    B:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    G:-11----------------5----------------|-11----------------5----------------|
  • D:(12)--------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    A:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    D:------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
  •  
    The last time, another guitar plays this with the two measures above.
     
  • e:-14----------------8----------------|
    B:------------------------------------|
    G:------------------------------------|
  • D:------------------------------------|
    A:------------------------------------|
    D:------------------------------------|
  •  
    And the ending goes as such:
     
  • e:-14----------------8-----------------|------------------------------------|
    B:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    G:-------------------------------------|-11----------------5----------------|
  • D:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    A:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
    D:-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
  •  
    e:-----------------------------|
    B:-----------------------------|
  • G:-7---------------------------|
    D:-----------------------------|
    A:-----------------------------|
  • D:-----------------------------|
     
    And finally, the outro, with no distortion:
  • e:-------------------------------------|
    B:----------8-----------------8--------|
    G:-------10----10----------10----10----|
  • D:----10----------10----10----------10-|
    A:-8-----------------8-----------------|
    D:-------------------------------------|

    LYRICS:
     
  • To hear but not complete
    To sleep but not to eat
    To always be lost
  • To never find the way
    No thought, no memory
    No hope or tragedy
  • A (bare old ancient?) reflection of the feast
     
    To hit the ground and know the sound
  • It's like trial by mistake
    Death's a crown we wear around
    Like a smile on our face
  •  
    They will never eat or lie
    They will never drink or try
  • They will never weep or cry
    They will never wave goodbye
     
  • The silence that would not break
    The loss of a feat
    The fence of a woman
  • That aroused much to leave
     
    I'll break down and she sees a cloud
  • That goes to hide away
    Death to clouds and on their crowns
    A smile on their face
  •  
    They will never weep or cry
    They will never eat or lie
  • They will never sing or smile
    They will never breathe or cry
     
  • Neenah Menasha will wait
     
    I'll break down and she sees a cloud
  • That goes to hide away
    Death to clouds and on their crowns
    A smile on their face
  •  
    They will never eat or lie
    They will never drink or try
  • They will never breathe or cry
    They will never wave goodbye
     
  • Neenah Menasha will wait
    Neenah Menasha will fade
  • PLAY TOO ..
